For RC application, we can only apply to the GRC that we reside.

I joined SHHK a few years back and did not get the recommendation for phase 2B, I seriously recommend parents to join grassroots instead of Clan. It will also be more fulfilling to serve the residents.

Hi icorpion, did you request from the clan?

which school is your kid in now?

Ironically, I do not have a primary school even within 2km for my boy.

The nearest is HGS though. My primary school is Yu Neng. Which is quite far
from Geylang Serai. My ideal school is Kong Hwa though.

Any kind soul can shed some light?

truly appreciated this info, MMM.


if they are shifting back to own school, then my place
is even more nearer. Still belong to 1km - 2km. but
at least nearer.

This is really tough to decide whether to take the risk,
or just enrol Yu Neng, which is quite far from Geylang Serai.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for sharing, MMM.


I know there's no guarantee, but what do you view my chances for
MBS with 1.39km distance? Since there's no more PV available,
meaning they do not have Phase 2B? And I just simply wait for 2C?

I see a big risk here. In any case, I don't get my kid into this school,
what can i do.....

Hi Mummies,


Hmm... i am so sorry to interrupt... As my girl is going to be P1 next year, I am quite new and blur in getting her into a Primary School next year. And with all your SAP, GEP, affiliated terms makes me more panic...

Ever since she is born as our most precious gift from God, my hubby and I wanted to give her the best we have, which including the best school we can get her in. Since she was 1 year old, I start looking for Nurseries, Kindergartens, Primary Schools... But as time goes by, I have been wonder, is the school we choose is what she wants? Is this and that enrichment classes is what she likes... ? But we never force her to stay in any enrichment classes she don't like, in the end it's us who got too tired of sending her to so many classes she wants...

We can try all our ways and luck to get to get her into a very good school, but the rest is up to her. And for which Secondary School to attend is no longer up to us.

Hmm... If she goes to an ordinary Primary School and performs very well, of course she can gets into any sec school she wants. She may be the top few students in school. But if she goes into a damn well school with good reputations which helps her to get into secondary school but she can't scores, I may as well forgo, she may suffer or fail.

My cousin has been persuaded by her JC teacher to quit school as she can't score well, and if she wanted to stay in the JC and take the 'A' levels, she would drag down the school's overall performances. :x She suffered lots of peer pressure from the school but luckily her parents are supportive and encouraged her to finish up the 'A' levels. Just imagine if your child one day jump down from high floors, and you never know why... as we only know that we are giving them the best...

I almost wanted to sue that teacher.... plus the JC's principal... :stupid:

Truly sad to hear that in our education system. Yet many parents still
insist sending their kids into such schools (am referring to pri.)

so i do agree, what we trying to give the best we could to our kids,
are these truly what they want AND suits them or not (be it preparation,
power of learning, etc)?

no wonder...

Every kid addition to a family is definitely a blessing.


If could financially, why not?

I will not hesitate even the 5th, which my wife yearn for it.
